Breccia Peak is located about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of Togwotee Pass, part of the Great Continental Divide which connects Jackson Hole from the west to the Wind River valley in the east.

The saddle between Breccia Peak and Angle Mountain contains an elongate irregular intrusive body of glassy flow-banded rhyodacite porphyry showing minor wall-rock alteration.

[4] Breccia Peak is a popular and accessible summit for hikers and climbers in the Yellowstone Region, as it is typically reachable within two hours[2] from the trailhead near U.S. Highway 26/U.S.

Visitors will encounter a challenging but minimally dangerous path (YDS Class 2, Swiss Alpine Club hiking grade T3).

To climb, the easiest route involves traversing the southeast face to reach the east ridge, avoiding a steep rocky cliff in the middle.
